AT LAST

We hear the other side and the
long delayed surveys are finally to be
made.
In the accomplishment of this re.
suit the PIONEER takes its share of
pleasure and pride, but there is still
more work to do. Those settlers in
the towns west and northwest, many
of whom have been living on their
claims over two years, should also
have surveys, and now while the
thing is ripe aud the contractor is
soon to be on the ground, they should
combine to make the necessary efforts
to finish the good work.
Squatters, come to the meeting on
Saturday next, at the court house.
We take pleasure in publishing the
following from the Surveyor General
Of Dakota, to the editor of the Pro.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR.
Office of u. S. Surveyor General.
DEAR SlR:-it is my pleasure to
inform you that the matter of the ex.
tension Of the public surveys in your
section, concerning which you have
written me on several occasions, has
at last reached that satisfactory stage
aa to enable me to announce that the
Hon. Commissioner OF the General
Land Office has approved the con-.
tracts awarded by this, office a year
and a half ago and afterwards sus.
pended on account of a question as to
an alleged title (unextinguished) of
the Turtle Mountain band of Chippe.
wa indians to the lands embraced in
such contracts.
The matter, of the suspension Of
contract and bond No. !, with Depu-
ty Fl. c. Greene, having been taken
before the Hon. Secretary of the In
terror on appeal, that official on the
Ath inst, without passing upon the al
legged claim of the Indians to the lands
affected, decided hat said alleged
claim should not be allowed to stand
in the way of the opening up of these
lands to settlement, and instructed
the Hon. Commissioner that the con.
tract with Greene, if in due form,
should be approved, and the surveys
hereunder proceed according to, law,
and to this end the order suspending
said contract and the surveys under
it, was revoked. Accordingly the
Hon. Commissioner has approved all
the suspended contracts for surveys
in your section.
AZ soon as he can: complete his
preliminary arrangements, Deputy
Greene will doubtless 60 into the field
and push his surveys to completion
without delay.
verrytruly yours,

FLORIDA.-SOrrentO. -As it has been
some time since the readers of The UNI
vERsALIsT has been advised as to relig-
ious matters here, will venture few
items.
A small band of the Universalist faith
have settled here, but until the present
winter, nothing has been done to put our
faith into activity. Rev. L. p. Abel has
been here since November, preaching
every Sunday in the village, and at other
places as opportunity offers. Fair audi
ences have attended his meetings, and
think the interest is on the increase. OF
course we have some things to contend
with, chief among them is want OF means to
properly support the work, and in others
want OF interest among those that we think
should be in the front rank in the work.
We are supporting Br. Abel, but not in
way that his labor justifes, and unless we
can secure aid from source that we know
not of at this time, we will not be able to
continue the work longer than spring.
When we consider that we have four Uni
versalist ministers among us, is it not
that we do not build up the
cause more rapidly, but even preachers
can not build up faith unless all pull
together? But hope to report more fa-
vorably in future. LEVI RIsINGER.

NOTES FROM LOMBARD.

Rev. Miss Florence Kollock, of Engle-
wood, delivered the third lecture of Y.
P. NJ. A. lecture course, Tuesday even
ing, Feb. Is. Beyond the Rockies" was
her subject. We need hardly say that she
gave entire satisfaction. The night was
one of February's worst, but there was a
larger audience than we have had here
tofore at any of the lectures, and every
one seemed well rewarded for venturing
out.
Rev. l.. W. Brigham attended the reg
ular Friday morning exercises of the the
illogical department Feb. IL. After the
sermon he gave the students one of the
best and most practical talks they ever
had. Such talks are the ones that tell on
theologue. Several remarked SITS just
what we needed"
Miss Kolloek visited the University
on Tuesday and attended several recita-
lions. She left Tuesday evening to
preach for Rev. Miss Fleming who held
a series OF meetings last week.
One of the secret societies of the
school enjoyed a very pleasant banquet
at Prof. Grubb's, Friday evening, Feb. IL
The "Ellis Memorial is giving genu
inc satisfaction in Galesburg. There was
quite demand for them.
-Weare happy to read of the "millen
ium" in Akron. Would that it extended

Cantwell preached at Woodlawn Park in
the evening.
Rev. j. Coleman Adams will begin on
Sunday evening next series of lectures
upon christian Types of Heroism." The
lectures will attempt to deal with the OBJ
lection to Christianity that it has lowered
or weakened the heroic virtues, and will
treat successfully the martyrs, the apollo
gists, the monks and the hermits, the pre-
lates and the knights, the reformers and
the missionaries.
The Ministers Meeting--The regular
monthly Ministers Meeting was held in
the editorial room Of the Western Branch
on Monday. Eleven members we're present
as follows: Messrs Alcott, Adams, Conk-
lin, Cantwell; Miss Chaplin, Ryder, Ralph,
Straub, Small, Tabor and Miss Kolloch.
Rev. Mr.. Alcott presided and Rev. Miss
Chaplin offered prayer. The essay was
read by Rev. Mr.. Alcott, subject: "The
Biblical Doctrine of Regeneration" The
design was to exhibit the doctrine as
presented in the words of Scripture,
especially the New Testament, and to
build up from this foundation the doc
trine in its theological aspects. It was
clear and vigorous exposition of the
subject, and with the discussion which
followed, made the session one of unus-
ual excellence and profit.
The subject will be resumed at the next
meeting, when each member is to present
a statement of the doctrine in five min
ute paper.
Elgin Rev. A. N. Alcott's sermon last
Sunday week on "The Submission of
Prohibition Amendments in Michigan
and other States" is pronounced the best
temperance lecture ever delivered in Ell
gin. We are glad to announce that Br.
Aleott has been engaged as pastor of the
Universalist church for another year at
an advanced salary. Mr.. Alcott's work
during the year past has been remarkably
successful. His sermons have touched
the popular chord and the church is filed
every Sunday. So reports EUery Satur-

and eloquent way, he chained the atten-

address full of instruction and inspira-
ton, especially to parents and children
He did not appeal for money, but for
higher education; for healthy use of the
opportunities that the wisdom and gen.
erosity of friends of liberal education
have furnished. His address is one of
real merit and much power and should
be heard by all the young and their par
ents and friends. The pastors OF churches
will confer substantial favor upon their
congregations by cordially inviting Mr..
Stearns to give his address, and by cheer
fully cooperating with him in his earnest,
manly efforts to stimulate in both parents
and children higher aims and nobler pur-
poses. ANDREW WILSON.
Meetings at Eldorado. DR.. B. F.
Beane writes Feb. IS: We have just clos
ed very successful series of meetings
which commenced Sunday, Feb. 6, and
closed Feb. 16. They were all very in
teresting and though there was very bad
weather and roads for most of the time,
the congregations were at all times good
and frequently the house was crowded.
The spirit of the Lord seemed to attend
us and there were fifty-nine persons gath
cred into the church. There was never
since the organization of the church so
much interest manifested as now and we
believe before many weeks there will be
several more additions.
Br. John Richardson, Of Westville, la
bored with the pastor Rev. J. H Black
ford, four days, beginning Feb. 7. Though
but recently licensed he is proving him.
self very efficient worker in the Mas
ter's vineyard. He is man of good
sense, sound Judgment, and earnest in
his labors. He will do good work for
our cause wherever he may be called to
labor.
Our pastor is very much encouraged
and well he may be. He has labored long
and faithfully with us; and though his
labors have been blessed by the gather
ing of many into the church, he may now
feel that the seed sown in these years of
earnest toll is now yielding abundant
harvest. Br. Blackford has been pastor
OF this church for ten or twelve years and
has been the means of much good to both
church and community at large. May he
long be spared to us that much more
good may be done for the Master.

historical sermons, covering the winter

from the Puritans to Andover and the
New Orthodoxy.

Rev. DR.. Gunnison, in the Leader: We
regret to learn that Rev. Mr.. Bisbee, of
the Church of the Restoration, is suffer-
ing from severe lameness and has gone to
Washington for rest and medical treat
ment. It is hoped that he will soon be
able to return to his parish and resume
his successful work. His pulpit during
his absence will be supplied.-It is said
that republics are ungrateful; not SO is it
with the Pennsylvania Universalist Con-
vention. A finely printed letter of thanks
is sent by the treasurer of the Convention
to the holders of missionary boxes, in the
two Philadelphia churches, for their gen.
erous Thanksgiving offerings. And really
the societies did deserve thanks, for the
Church OF the Restoration, through its
boxes, gave 1882, and the Church of the
Messiah, $225.35. The latter church also
contributed $501.67 for the Permanent
Missionary Fund, making it's Offering for
the day $75702. George g. Thomas is
the treasurer of the Convention, and we
do not doubt that his ever-ready gener-
osity has much to do with melting the
gifts of others.

The UNIvERsALTsT. 1t has been profit
liable one, financially, but that is by no
means the chief source of our satisfaction.
That springs from the high character of
the work that has been brought in for
our intellectual life by seven gentlemen
from abroad. The course consisted of
eight lectures, with the following speak
ers and subjects; Rev. ID. NJ. Reed, Tie
Home of the Caesars; Prof. j. @. Free
man of the State University, Madison,
The Yellowstone Park; Rev. T. B. For
bush, of the Unitarian church, Milwaukee,
The Labor Question; Rev. j. G. Adams,
Chicago, Aristocracy; Prof. Stearns, of
the State University, A Run into Scot
land; Rev. Charles Conklin, Chicago,
Oliver Cromwell; the writer on the EVAN
dering Jew: A Race Study" and the Rev.
j. II. Crooker, OF the Unitarian church,
Madison, on The Hindoo Bible. These
lectures have all been excellent with the
exception of the one on the peripatetic
Semitic, and the less said about that the
better); and of several the effect has been
very marked, arousing a great enthusi-
asm. They have helped, not only the
treasury of the church to the extent of
about $50, but what is more important,
they have quickened the intellectual life
of the community, and lifted the Univers-
alist church very much in the estimation
of thoughtful and intelligent people.
To those who gave of their time and ge-
MUS to help us, we are deeply grateful.

The Galesburg Register gives this
report of Miss Kollock's lecture to which
reference is made in our correspondence
"Notes."
Rev. Florence Kolloch, of Englewood,
lectured to larger audience at the Uni
versalist church, Monday evening, than
has yet appeared in the Y. P. M. A. course.
She introduced her lecture by an hlstorl-
cal sketch of its early missions. Many
interesting facts we're told concerning
the Garden of the World" which would
easily tempt one to go to that land where
there are birds and flowers during twelve
months in the year; where January is IS
pleasant as June; where there is almost
no limit to growth, and where crops have
been taken from the fields twenty years
in succession. Everything depends upon
the irrigation Of the country. One acre
of land costs only 81 but it takes 500 to
supply the necessary amount of water.
The speaker spoke at length OF the indus
tries of the region, of its oranges, cattle,
sheep, grapes, walnuts, honey, feathers,
ETC., alec of the manner of cultivation. In
fact, she described the advantages and
beauties of the country in glowing Ian
guage, adorned with pleasing anecdotes
and vivid descriptions. She has good
voice. and her audience listened attent-
lively.
